Divorce and Your Money

Divorce can leave you wondering where on earth all your money has gone — and why the numbers suddenly don't seem to add up!

In Episode 4 of Divorce & Your Money, we tackle one of the most important (and sometimes uncomfortable) parts of navigating divorce: understanding your budget.

We'll talk about getting to grips with your income, your everyday spending and the real cost of running your life, both now and after divorce.

I'm a Chartered Certified Accountant and divorce financial specialist, and I believe understanding your finances is one of the most powerful steps you can take towards regaining control and confidence.

No complicated financial jargon, no judgement — just practical guidance, a little humour and an honest conversation about money.

Divorce & Your Money — helping you make sense of the numbers and move forward with confidence.

Half of everything. Sounds fair, doesn't it?

Well, hang on a minute!

When you're going through divorce, it's easy to assume that splitting everything 50/50 means you'll both walk away financially secure.

But here's the thing: equal on paper doesn't always mean equal in real life.

In this episode of Divorce and Your Money, I'm breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions about divorce finances — with practical examples, a little humour and absolutely no complicated accountant-speak!

We'll cover:

• Why a 50/50 split isn't automatically the fairest financial settlement

• The difference between property, cash, savings and pensions

• Why £200,000 in a pension isn't the same as £200,000 sitting in your bank account

• How keeping the family home could leave you house-rich but cash-poor

• Why your future income, housing needs and retirement matter just as much as today's figures

• The importance of looking beyond the headline numbers before agreeing to a settlement

Because divorce isn't about winning the biggest slice of the pie. It's about making sure you've got enough to build a secure future.

And remember, just because your divorced cousin Brenda thinks she knows how settlements work doesn't mean you should take her advice!

This episode discusses general financial principles and divorce arrangements in England and Wales. Every situation is different, and the information is not a substitute for personalised legal or regulated financial advice.

It's not about winning the biggest number. It's about building a future that actually works for you.

The family home. It's full of memories, emotions and probably a cupboard full of things nobody's touched in fifteen years!

But when you're going through divorce, one of the biggest questions is: Can I actually afford to keep it?

In this episode of Divorce and Your Money, I'm talking about the emotional attachment we have to our homes and why keeping the house isn't always the financial security we imagine.

We'll cover:

• The real monthly costs of keeping the family home (because the mortgage is only the beginning!)

• Why having equity in your house doesn't necessarily mean having money to live on

• Mortgage affordability after divorce

• The difference between keeping the house and building a financially secure future

• Why downsizing or renting might sometimes give you more freedom

Expect practical financial guidance, a few laughs and some straight talking about making decisions that work for your future.

Because you deserve more than a roof over your head. You deserve a life underneath it.
